Need some help with rel="nofollow"

Hello, i need some help on trying to do two things on Wordpress:
1. add nofollow tag to Archives in the sidebar
2. add nofollow tag to Categories in the sidebar

Can anyone tell me how i can do that? I've tried to hard code it but i can't really find the script i need to modify in order to achieve what i want.

10x. Help will be greatly appreciated

 

Why dont you add All-in-one SEO plugin.. There is an option for it..

More helpful SEO wordpress plugins here.

 

I already use All in One SEO pack but it doesn't do what i want. I want to be able to add rel="nofollow" to my categories and archive links in the sidebar...

 

Dont you find this ?

Instead of "nofollowing" which is not necessary here,
You should use "no index" to avoid duplicate content..

 

i already use noindex dude That's not the point. I want to use nofollow though. It's part of an experiment. I'm trying to see if controlling your link juice flow trough your site with "nofollow" is really worth it or not

 

If you use "nofollow" then that will not passed any juice for sure..

IF going is "not following" then why should google pass juice

 

I don't really get you last post.

Let's have an example. I am on page A. Page A has two links, one pointing to page B, one pointing to page C. Page B is cut from robots, it will not be indexed. So, are you really telling me that the link poiting from page A to page B will not pass any Juice just because page B is excluded from Robots? So, i don't need to use nofollow on this link pointing from A to B?

This makes sense, but i've read a couple of posts claiming that the juice is still passed to a noindex page...

 

I think you might need to hack the template files to do that since in the sidebar.php files, it's use :

function wp_list_cats($cat_article_input);

Use your editor to open up \wp-includes\category-template.php
find - function wp_list_categories

find and change the code :

			if ('list' == $style )  
				$output .= '<li><a href="' .  get_bloginfo('url')  . '">' . $show_option_all . '</a></li>';
			else
				$output .= '<a href="' .  get_bloginfo('url')  . '">' . $show_option_all . '</a>';
		

Code (markup):

Now add the nofollow link into the code.
Just remember it's will not compatible when you upgrade your wordpress.

 

Hmmm, i think i allready looked in Wp_List_cats . I'll give it another look right away. 10x
